WRS - "track bred,
street smart"
Based near Pesaro, Italy, WRS has quickly emerged
as one of the fastest growing manufacturers of
acrylic windscreens and special parts in Europe.
Founded in 2009, its success has been driven in no
small part by technical partnerships and
sponsorships with major teams such as Pramac
Racing (Ducati MotoGP), BMW Motorrad official
team (WorldSBK) and Team SIC 58 Squadra Corse
(Moto3). The latest news just accounced is that WRS
is now the technical sponsor of "Reale Avintia Racing
Team" with Johann Zarco and Tito Rabat.
The company has invested heavily in cutting-edge
technologies, creating a dedicated design team and
a production department with a reputation for
precision and quality. "We combine new
technologies for design and development with the
use of certified materials with the best parameters of
resistance and transparency," says CEO Nicolas
Zavoli. "All our products are designed with the
utmost attention to detail and checked one by one
to give our clients a product of the highest quality
with 100% 'Made in Italy' precision."
WRS windshields are made in high quality acrylic
(Plexiglas PMMA), which guarantees an excellent
"transmittance" (ability to pass the light) and correct
optical clarity. "They are safe and on impact can
absorb the energy by breaking, but not shattering
like glass, so they do not create dangerous splinters."
"Our designs are so finely tuned that whether a high

or a low design, we gain optimum protection from
wind and rain - the basis of our designs have a more
dynamic line that protects most of the body from the
air, but leaves the face uncovered. The addition of
deflectors can further protect the shoulders and
arms."
Seen here, and showing the diversity of their range,
are a 4.5 mm thick Plexiglas sport windshield for the
BMW S 1000 RR (2019), a race windshield for the
Ducati Panigale V4/S and a touring style screen for
the versatile Suzuki V-Strom 650 (2017-2019) - each
one aerodynamically tuned to eliminate the
turbulence that hits the rider's helmet and styled to
complement the lines of the bike.
"Physical simulation software allows us to achieve
high aerodynamic performance combined with the
OE designs our products replace, but with a design
harmony that enhances the style of the bike. Testing
is extensive, out on the road, in year-round real-world
riding conditions, as well as in the software.
Aerodynamics is about 'feel' as well as math, and
working this way allows us to offer aesthetically
unique products with excellent aerodynamic
protection and minimum turbulence values," says
Nicolas.
